It works fine when I am on the local Cygwin system, but not when I ssh into the same system. In the ssh session, if the user enters "abcd" for username, only "abc" is echoed. The full username is actually entered, but it is confusing to the ssh user to only see the partial echo of what they typed. The same occurs in a simple Cygwin bash shell script that does a echo/read to prompt for and receive a username. It works fine locally, but does not echo the most recent input character when invoked via ssh login to the same system. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- View this message in context: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/Cygwin-utilities-don-t-echo-last-input-character-in-ssh-session-tp93343.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
